The important bit is the IP contrary to what certain people have been saying!!!!!
I would be very surprised if Petroteq don't want to keep all the technology now that the plant is nearly up and running. Assuming no surprises, it should be producing by the end of the month. When PQE agreed the deal in September/October 2017 it had no cash, its share price was on the floor and no producing plant. The oil price was a lot lower than now: what looked to be a good deal for them in 2017 now probaby looks pretty nasty.
